One World, One Heart Givaway 2010

I don't know what rock I've been hiding under, but somehow I managed to be completely unaware of this wonderful blog party that is happening over at Lisa's blog, A Whimsical Bohemian. This is her 4th year bringing bloggers from all over the world together. She has graciously allowed me to join the party a little late, and I am thrilled to be a part of it. What a fabulous opportunity to meet hundreds of new bloggers and share a little bit of my art with one new blogging friend. (or maybe an old one!) I am always looking for new blogs to visit and there will be HUNDREDS to visit over the next few weeks. I would also like to welcome anyone who is new to My Desert Cottage. I hope you find yourself comfortable to be here, and are able to find a little inspiration, as I am sure I will while visiting all these new (to me) blogs. One of the things that I love so much about blogging is how it brings people from all over the world together. We put aside our religious and political differences and just become one world full of loving and creative people. I always get so excited when I receive an email from someone on the other side of the world. It points out that we really aren't that different from each other. I am a changed person because of blogging and very grateful for it.

My contribution to the giveaway is this little shadowbox. It's approx. 5.5" x 6" As you probably know by now, all you have to do is leave a comment with a way for me to get a hold of you, and you will be entered in the drawing. The last day to leave a comment will be Feb. 14th .My art is made from the heart and I hope one of you will enjoy owning it as much as I enjoyed making it. Now LET"S PARTY!!!!!

Put my name in the bucket. Thank you, Karin Whooooshhh, on my magic carpet and off to the next blog county somewhere over the rainbow! hahaha....what fun it is to ride the wind! Good thing we have a couple weeks of blog hopping, cuz there has to be over 600 entries by now. Nightie, night, night..Linda

Hi Karen, we met at the 'show your studio' event last Summer. Other years people were joining from the start until days or even a week later. This year, as i understood, people were sending their links in before time. I entered mine 10 minutes after official starting time and I am number 436 or something like that. What fun it is that so many people are participating! Meeting old friends again, like here! And making some new too. We have to be grateful to LIsa, what work she has to do! Of course I would love to win your shadow box, maybe you want to give it a try at my place; I'm having an altered book as owoh prize. Have fun!

I too love meeting new blogging friends, I me so many during the last OWOH I haven't been able to keep up with all of them. I'm looking forward to reconnecting with some this year!I absolutely love you wee shadow box and would love a chance to win it, thank you!Please drop by my blog for a chance to win my giveaway! #396 on the Magic Carpet ride!!

This is simply GORGEOUS! I love every little inch of it. The softness and sweetness, the layers and textures, and the vintage goodness of the whole thing are just wonderful! I'm following you and adding a link to you from my blog.

I agree Karen - blogging knows no boundaries!! I have also had the great pleasure of meeting some of my blog friends in the flesh - it's just great to meet people this way and of course we often have much in common.

This is a precious giveaway, I would love to be included!(and I joined even later than you!!)
